Armc5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in anatomical structure morphogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including T cell activation; adrenal cortex development; and defense response to virus. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasm; focal adhesion; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia 2. Orthologous to human ARMC5 (armadillo repeat containing 5).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Armc5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
